Hello aspirant, hope you are doing good.

So, with your JEE Mains ST category rank, i am sorry to inform you that it's not very likely to get a seat in most of the NITs. You haven't mentioned your home state, but in case you want to get into an NIT in your home state, you will be having some advantages, because cutoff ranks are extendable to a lot extend for home state candidates.

You can use our college predictor tool to  get out of the dilemma, and find out which NITs, or other colleges you can get into with your JEE mains rank:

Hope this helps you. Good luck!

Dear student,

As you have secured 16000 St category rank in JEE mains 2020 then sorry you have not even the slightest chance to get any NIT or IIIT if you belong from other state.

But if you belong from home state quota then you can get seat in some low nits as per seeing last year cutoff closing ranks. The nits are  :-

  • Nit Meghalaya
  • Nit Manipur
  • Nit mizoram
  • Nit arunchal pradesh
  • Nit puducherry
  • Nit Nagaland
  • Nit Agartala

Apart from these nits there is no chance that you can get seat in any good nits even if you belong from home state quota.

Also you can check out our JEE mains college predictor tool to get an appropriate idea of the colleges that you can get on the basis of your JEE mains rank :-
